Sex, Age, Comment | Had about 100 birds this day. They come in to forage in the corner of the beach outside the golf course, but these were roosting in front of Las Hadas. Several flew to and from over the peninsula. Compare with the larger Royal Tern on the right side of the photo. Because of the angle the size difference is exaggerated. It is normally more moderate. | ||||||||||||
